EF mentioned there was interest in Risto but didn't name teams - said if anything happens it would be the offseason
I wouldn't be crazy about EJ but if it's not Staal, it's one million/one year and he sits more than he plays i'm not gonna look for a bridge to jump off. depends on if anything happens with Risto. But if Risto is on the roster and ready to play when the season starts I'd say no to EJ. I want kids to play but you need bodies and there will be injuries. With York, Drysdale and Zamula there's plenty of youth. rotate the others in and see who sticks. the question is will the flyers sign him to make trading that 4th look better or will they just move on? i don't know the answer to this.
i'd revisit frost for pinto. i'd also consider packaging him with the late first to move up.
- anti-lame
- RR missed what the last 20 games and had surgery. he has no trade value at the moment. he will need to show he is healthy and actually capable of contributing beofre any team takes on that contract which will still have 2 full years left come the trade deadline.
- there is no need for EJ. you have attard zamula and ginning to battle for those last 2 spots. though the flyers gonna flyer
- if you were ottawa would yo make that deal?
